yeah and the world would also be a better place if it rained gumdrops and food stamps. nuclear power plants are nothing more than barely controlled nuclear bombs and the waste they produce is more than just a nuisance. any responsible government would seek the alternatives of wind and solar before opening up the pandora's box of nuclear energy. the only reason for going to nuclear is for iran to position itself as a super power with nuclear weapons technology.

as for invasion:

without complete international backing, the only way that the us could invade iran is to at least entertain the nuclear option. with wars on two fronts, the us and its dwindling coalition are stretched too thin for another conventional war. air strikes can only harass and soften up a target, it takes boots on the ground to subdue an enemy and the us just doesn't have the bodies to spare.

no wonder the generals are up in arms over the possible invasion of iran. they know better than most what kind of devastation w and his buddies are willing to unleash to further their holy corporate war. instead of resigning, maybe they should consider a military coup. arresting bush and company for treason would not be totally uncalled for.
